Sai
Pallavi,
the
sensational
actress
is
no
longer
a
part
of
the
upcoming
Mani
Ratnam
movie.
It
was
rumoured
that
Sai
Pallavi
turned
down
the
offer,
as
she
was
not
ready
to
do
intimate
scenes.
But
recently,
the
actress
herself
cleared
the
air,
by
stating
that
only
a
heartless
actor
can
deny
an
offer
from
a
film-maker
like
Mani
Ratnam.
It
was
the
director
himself,
who
decided
to
replace
her.
According
to
the
initial
plot,
Sai
Pallavi
was
perfect
for
the
lead
role
in
the
movie.
But
later,
the
team
made
some
changes
in
the
storyline,
which
also
reflected
in
all
the
characters
of
the
movie.
Mani
Ratnam
felt
that
Sai
Pallavi
is
too
young
to
essay
the
newly
moulded
character,
which
demands
a
matured
actress.
He
explained
the
same
to
Pallavi,
and
the
actress
decided
to
back
out
from
the
project.
Sai
Pallavi
is
extremely
grateful
that
a
veteran
film-maker
like
Mani
Ratnam
was
willing
to
explain
such
changes
to
a
relatively
newcomer,
like
her.
The
actress
says
that
she
is
eagerly
waiting
for
the
movie.
It
was
Suhasini
Mani
Ratnam,
who
suggested
Sai
Pallavi
for
the
role,
after
watching
her
debut
movie
Premam.
Reportedly,
Bollywood
actress
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
has
been
roped
in
for
the
role.
